Once exposure process is performed on the positive photoresist layer disposed on the substrate so as to simultaneously form concaves with at least two different depths.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a manufacturing method of a substrate and a mask structure and a manufacturing method thereof, and particularly relates to a manufacturing method of a circuit substrate and a mask structure and a manufacturing method thereof which can reduce a required frequency of exposure in an exposure process.

Description of Related Art

In current process technology of a circuit substrate, if it is desired to form conductive blind holes and circuit structures, at least two times of mask exposure processes are needed to define blind holes and intaglio patterns respectively. After that, the conductive blind holes and the circuit structures are formed in the blind holes and the intaglio patterns respectively by an electroplating method. Since two times of the mask exposure processes are required to form concaves (i.e., the blind holes and the intaglio patterns) with different depths in the prior art, the fabrication of a conventional circuit substrate is easy to have an issue of alignment accuracy. Additionally, since the two times of the mask exposure processes are required in the prior art, the required frequency of exposure in the exposure process can not be effectively reduced. Thus, the process time can not be shortened and the productivity can not be increased.

Regarding to the manufacturing method of the circuit substrate of the embodiment, first, referring to FIG. 1A, a substrate 110 a is provided.

Herein, the direct imaging exposure machine embodies a maskless digital exposure machine, and a desired depth of the concave can be formed in where the concave is desired to be formed by an inputting program method.

Then, referring to FIG. 1D, once exposure process is performed on the positive photoresist layer 120 a disposed on the substrate 110 a so as to simultaneously form concaves with at least two different depths. Specifically, the concaves herein include at least one first blind hole B1 (two are schematically depicted in FIG. 1D) extending from a first outer surface 123 a of the first positive photoresist layer 122 a relatively far away from the core layer 112 a to the first patterned circuit layer 114 a and at least one first intaglio pattern C1 (three are schematically depicted in FIG. 1D), and at least one second blind hole B2 (two are schematically depicted in FIG. 1D) extending from a second outer surface 125 a of the second positive photoresist layer 124 a relatively far away from the core layer 112 a to the second patterned circuit layer 116 a and at least one second intaglio pattern C2 (three are schematically depicted in FIG. 1D). As shown in FIG. 1D, a depth of the first blind hole B1 is larger than a depth of the first intaglio pattern C1, and a depth of the second blind hole B2 is larger than a depth of the second intaglio pattern C2.

That is, the embodiment adopts the maskless digital exposure machine to form the blind holes (i.e., the first blind hole B1 and the second blind hole B2) with different depths and the intaglio patterns (i.e., the first intaglio pattern C1 and the second intaglio pattern C2) by once exposure method. Thus, the required frequency of exposure in the exposure process can be reduced, so as to reduce the process time and increase the productivity.

Then, referring to FIG. 1D, once development process and once baking process are performed on the positive photoresist layer 120 sequentially so as to cure the positive photoresist layer 120.

Then, referring to FIG. 1E, a first seed layer 130 a is formed in the first blind hole B1 and the first intaglio pattern C1, and a second seed layer 130 b is formed in the second blind hole B2 and the second intaglio pattern C2.

After that, referring to FIG. 1E, the first seed layer 130 a and the second seed layer 130 b are used as electroplating seed layers to form a conductive material layer 140 by an electroplating method. Herein, the conductive material layer 140 is completely filled in the first blind hole B1, the second blind hole B2, the first intaglio pattern C1, and the second intaglio pattern C2, and covers the first outer surface 123 a of the first positive photoresist layer 122 a and the second outer surface 125 a of the second positive photoresist layer 124 a.

At last, referring to FIG. 1E and FIG. 1F at the same time; a portion of the conductive material layer 140, a portion of the first seed layer 130 a, and a portion of the second seed layer 130 b are removed to expose the first outer surface 123 a of the first positive photoresist layer 122 a and the second outer surface 125 a of the second positive photoresist layer 124 a. A plurality of conductive blind holes 142 a are formed in the first blind hole B1 and the second blind hole B2, and a plurality of circuit patterns 144 a are formed in the first intaglio pattern C1 and the second intaglio pattern C2. Until now, the fabrication of the circuit substrate 100 a has been completed.

It should be mentioned that, the core layer 112 a can be selectively removed in the subsequent application, so as to form a padless circuit substrate, which is still within the scope of the invention.

It should be noted that, the component notations and partial details of the structures hereinafter provided in the following embodiments can be the same as or similar to the previous embodiment, wherein the same notations represent the same or similar components while the repeated same details are omitted in the following embodiments, which can refer to the previous embodiment.

FIG. 2A to FIG. 2C are schematic cross-sectional diagrams of a manufacturing method of a circuit substrate according to another embodiment of the invention. Referring to FIG. 2A, the manufacturing method of the circuit substrate of the embodiment is similar to the manufacturing method of the circuit substrate of FIG. 1A to FIG. 1F, and the difference between the two is that, a substrate 110 b of the embodiment includes a glass 7 substrate 112 b and a metal layer 114 b, where the metal layer 114 b is disposed on the glass substrate 112 b, and the metal layer 114 b is one of a titanium-copper composite layer, copper, titanium, palladium, silver, nickel, tin, etc., or a combination thereof, for example.

Then, referring to FIG. 2B, a mask structure M1 is provided above a positive photoresist layer 120 b, where the mask structure M1 includes a transparent substrate 152 a, a patterned metal layer 154 a, and a plurality of microlens structures 156 a. The patterned metal layer 154 a is disposed on the transparent substrate 152 a and exposes a portion of the transparent substrate 152 a, so as to define at least one first exposure region P1 (one is schematically depicted in FIG. 2B). The microlens structures 156 a are disposed on the transparent substrate 152 a exposed by a portion of the patterned metal layer 154 a, so as to define at least one second exposure region P2 (two are schematically depicted in FIG. 2B). Herein, a light transmittance of the first exposure region P1 is more than a light transmittance of the second exposure region P2.

As shown in FIG. 2C, the step of forming the mask structure M1 includes the following steps. First, the transparent substrate 152 a is provided, where a material of the transparent substrate 152 a includes glass, Ajinomoto (ABF), benzocyclo-buthene (BCB), liquid crystal polymers (LCP), poly-imide (PI), poly-phenylene ether (PPE), poly-tetra-fluoroethylene (PTFE), FR4, FR5, bistmaleimide triazine (BT), aramide, epoxy resins, or glass fibers. Then, the patterned metal layer 154 a is formed on the transparent substrate 152 a, where the patterned metal layer 154 a is disposed on the transparent substrate 152 a and exposes a portion of the transparent substrate 152 a. A material of the patterned metal layer 154 a includes one of chromium, copper, titanium, palladium, silver, nickel, tin, etc., or a combination thereof. After that, the plurality of the microlens structures 156 a are formed on the transparent substrate 152 a exposed by the portion of the patterned metal layer 154 a. Herein, the step of forming the microlens structures 156 a on the transparent substrate 152 a exposed by the portion of the patterned metal layer 154 a including the following steps. First, a mold F is provided, where the mold F has a plurality of convex portions T. Then, an organic polymer material OP is attached to the convex portions T of the mold F. After that, the convex portions T of the mold F attached with the organic polymer material OP is used to form the microlens structures 156 a on the transparent substrate 152 a exposed by the portion of the patterned metal layer 154 a by a contact printing method.

It should be mentioned that, the invention does not limit the manufacturing method of the mask structure M1. In other embodiments, referring to FIG. 2D, a mask structure M2 may also be formed by forming the organic polymer material OP on the transparent substrate 152 a exposed by the portion of the patterned metal layer 154 a by an inkjet printing method through a nozzle 10. After that, a heat curing process is performed on the organic polymer material OP to form the microlens structures 156 b. Herein, a temperature of the heat curing process is between 120 degrees and 180 degrees, for example. Preferably, between 125 degrees and 140 degrees, or between 150 degrees and 160 degrees. The heating temperature can be changed according to a formulation of the organic polymer material OP, so as to form the microlens structures 156 b with different radiuses of curvature.

After that, referring to FIG. 2B, once exposure process is performed on the positive photoresist layer 120 b disposed on the substrate 110 b so as to simultaneously form concaves with at least two different depths. Specifically, when the exposure process is performed on the positive photoresist layer 120 b disposed on the substrate 110 b, the light transmittance of the first exposure region P1 is larger than the light transmittance of the second exposure region P2. Thus, a depth of a concave C3 corresponding to the first exposure region P1 is larger than a depth of a concave C4 corresponding to the second exposure region P2. Herein, the depth of the concave C3 corresponding to the first exposure region P1 is equal to a distance between an outer surface 121 b of the positive photoresist layer 120 b relatively far away from the glass substrate 112 b and the metal layer 114 b. Until now, the fabrication of the circuit substrate 100 b has been completed.

Since the embodiment uses the microlens structures 156 a to make the mask structure M1 have the regions (i.e., the first exposure region P1 and the second exposure region P2) with at least two different light transmittances, only once exposure process is required in the manufacturing method of the circuit substrate 100 b of the embodiment, and the concaves (i.e., the concaves C3 and C4) with different depths can be obtained simultaneously. Thus, the manufacturing method of the circuit substrate 100 b of the embodiment can reduce the required frequency of exposure in the exposure process, so as to reduce the process time and increase the productivity.

Particularly, the depth of the concaves and the radius of curvature of the microlens structures of the embodiment are substantially in a proportional relationship. Referring to FIG. 2E, the main difference between the manufacturing method of a circuit substrate 100 c of the embodiment and the manufacturing method of the circuit substrate 100 b of FIG. 2B is that, a mask structure M3 of the embodiment has microlens structures 156 a and 156 c with two different radiuses of curvature, where the radius of curvature of the microlens structure 156 c is larger than the radius of curvature of the microlens structure 156 a. Thus, a depth of a concave C5 formed after the exposure is substantially larger than the depth of the concave C4. Specifically, the radius of curvature of the microlens structure 156 c is larger compared with the radius of curvature of the microlens structure 156 a. That is, a focus exposure depth of the microlens structure 156 c is longer compared with a focus exposure depth of the microlens structure 156 a. Thus, when light passes through the microlens structure 156 c and microlens structure 156 a respectively, less light is absorbed by the microlens structure 156 c. That is, more light is irradiated onto the positive photoresist layer 120 b, so as to form the concave C5 with a greater depth. On the other hand, more light is absorbed by the microlens structure 156 a. That is, less light is irradiated onto the positive photoresist layer 120 b, so as to form the concave C4 with a shallower depth. In short, the depths of the concaves C4 and C5 and the radiuses of curvature of the microlens structures 156 a and 156 c are in a proportional relationship, and the radiuses of curvature and one focus exposure depth of the microlens structures 156 a and 156 c are in a proportional relationship. Herein, the microlens structures 156 a and 156 c can be formed on the transparent substrate 152 a by a direct printing method or an inkjet printing method, and is not limited thereto.

In summary, the manufacturing method of the circuit substrate of the invention can perform once exposure process on the positive photoresist layer disposed on the substrate, and the concaves with at least two different depths can be simultaneously formed. Thus, the manufacturing method of the circuit substrate of the invention can reduce the required frequency of exposure in the exposure process, so as to reduce the process time and increase the productivity.
